Coleus Flower Seeds

Our Coleus Flower seeds are an extremely popular annual or houseplant with teachers and do-it-yourself Moms and Dads who want to get the kids involved with nature and their environment. A great winter project, you can start Coleus indoors in February and have strong, beautiful seedlings to transplant to outdoor containers or beds as spring’s warmer temperatures arrive. You can, of course, also plant them right into the soil. Why do kids love it? They don’t have to wait for blossoms to appear to see the unique coloration! Each and every colorful coleus leaf shows its colors from the time they sprout.  


Also known as Painted Nettle, Coleus, pronounced KO-lee-us, is not grown for its blossoms; in fact, once a coleus flowers, it “thinks” it has completed its life cycle and will expire. Pinch those buds before they bloom to keep Coleus growing. Coleus can withstand plenty of sunlight once they are well established, but will normally show off their best colors in partial shade, though newer hybrids are more tolerant of the sun. In hot climates, afternoon shade will be a necessity. Having only one foe, the cottony mealy bug, coleus is also fairly maintenance-free. If you happen to spy that ugly little creature, the best bet is to pull up your plants and start from scratch, though their appearance is not commonly reported. Coleus, as will all annuals, benefits from being on a regular feeding schedule. We recommend Espoma Plant-tone® or Jungle Flora, both of which are organically rich and safe for you, your pets, your children and the environment.


Each order of our fresh Coleus seeds is filled by hand, put into a resealable plastic bag and then placed into a labeled seed packet. It is our goal to provide our customers the best in freshness and quality.

Price $6.25

Our ‘Kong™ Mosaic’ Coleus Flower Seeds produce a hybrid form of Painted Nettle that has been bred specifically for tolerance to sun, though it performs just as well in the shade.

Performing best in outdoor temperatures above 55°F, you can move Coleus inside for the cold months, bringing some much needed color into your home; color which you can move back outside next season! Seeds are pelleted for ease of planting. Approximately 15 seeds per each hand-filled packet.
